Lab 12 Physiological Characteristics of Bacteria

Quiz yourself by thinking what should be in each of the black spaces below before clicking on it to display the answer.
        Help!  

Question
Answer
What is the function of bacterial exoenzymes?   Extracellular degradation of substances so that siimpler compounds can be taken into the cell as nutrient or energy resources  
🗑
Differentiate between anabolism and catabolism   Anabolism- energy driven synthesis of complex molecules from simpler ones. Catabolism is the energy-releasing degradatin of complex molecules into simpler ones  
🗑
Differentiate between fermentation and respiration   Fermentation metabolizes sugars in the absence of oxygen. Respiratin utilized oxygen.  
🗑
How are acids or alkalies detected in culture mediums?   By the use of pH indicators  
🗑
Name two tests for reactions that produce acid end products;   Sugar fermentation and fat hydrolysis  
🗑
Name two tests for reactions that produce alkaline end products   Urea hydrolysis, Citrate utilization, proteolysis (litmus milk & kligers iron agar)  
🗑
What types of gases can be produced as a result of sugar fermentation?   Carbon dioxide & hydrogen gas produced by fermentation  
🗑
How are gases detected in fermentation reactions?   In a durham tube as a trapped air bubble or as an air pocket in a stabbged solid medium eg Kligers Iron agar.  
🗑
Name a nonfermentative test in which gas production indicates a positive test result   Catalase test yields oxygen gas  
🗑
The tests for the hydrolysis of starch, casein and triglycerides are similar in terms of setup. How doe the methos for the detection of hydrolysis differ between them?   Casein-shows clear line of hydrolysisStarch Agar- iodine is added to form complexes and reveal clear zones of hydrolysis and Fat Hydrolysis- Spirit Blue agar contains pH indicator that reveals the release of fatty acids (by product of hydrolysis)  
🗑
In addition to the casein hydrolysis test, name two other tests that demonstrate hydrolysis of proteins, or proteolytic digestion   Litmus milk adn alkaline reaction in Kligers iron agar  
🗑
Kligers iron agar and SIM are multiple test media what test do these media have in common?   hydrogen sulfide production  
🗑
What components of the Kligers and SIM media are included for this test?   Cystein, ferrous salts  
🗑
Both Kligers and SIM are stabbed, but for different reasons;   SIM is stabbed to detect motility. Kliglers Iron Agar is stabbed to creat an aerobic environment to test for glucose.  
🗑
What does Kligers Iron Agar test for?   Carbohydrate fermentation and hydrogen sulfide production  
🗑
What does MR-VP broth test for?   2,3 butanedoil fermentation  
🗑
What does phenol red lactose test for?   carbohydrate fermentation  
🗑
What does SIM Medium test for?   hydrogen sulfide production; tryptophan degradation and motility  
🗑
What does Simmon's citrate agar test for?   Citrate utilization  
🗑
What does skim milk agar test for?   Casein hydrolysis  
🗑
What does spirit blue agar test for?   triglyceride hydrolysis  
🗑
What does tryptone broth test for?   tryptophan degradation  
🗑
Match reagent alpha naphtol w/test   2,3 butanediol fermentation  
🗑
Match reagent dimethyl-alpha-naphthylamine w/test   nitrate reduction  
🗑
Match reagent ferric chloride w/test   phenylalanine deamination  
🗑
Match reagent Gram's iodine w/test   starch hydrolysis  
🗑
Match reagent hydrogen peroxide w/test   catalase test  
🗑
Match reagent Kovac's reagent w/test   tryptophan degradation  
🗑
Match reagent methyl red with test   mixed-acid fermentation  
🗑
Match reagent NNNN with test   oxidase test  
🗑
Match reagent potassium hydroxide with test   2,3 butanediol fermentation  
🗑
Match reagent sulfanilic acid w/test   nitrate reduction  
🗑
Match ezyme amylase w/reaction   starch hydrolysis  
🗑
Match cysteine desulfurase w/reaction   hydrogen sulfide production  
🗑
Match lipase w/reaction   triglyceride hydrolysis  
🗑
Match protease w/reaction   gelatin liquefaction, casein hydrolysis  
🗑
Match tryptophanase w/reaction   indole  
🗑
Match urease w/reaction   urea hydrolysis  
🗑
Match product 2.3 butanediol w/ reaction   Voges-Proskauer test  
🗑
Match product ammonia w/reaction   urea hydrolysis  
🗑
Match product fatty acids w/reaction   triglyceride hydrolysis  
🗑
Match product indole w/reaction   tryptophan degradation  
🗑
Match molecular oxygen w/reaction   catalase  
🗑
Match phenylpyruvic acid   phenylalanine deamination  
🗑
